Instructions
- 1
Remove the stems from the dried guajillo and ancho chiles and soften them in hot water for 18 minutes.
18 min18:00 - 2
Turn the onion, garlic, and tomatoes in a pan for 6 minutes until they take on a charred flavor.
6 min06:00 - 3
Blend the softened chiles, charred vegetables, cumin, oregano, grape vinegar, and half the salt until smooth.
- 4
Put the beef shank and brisket in a pot, add the sauce, bay leaves, and enough water to cover.
- 5
Cook the meat over low heat for 3 hours 10 minutes, until it shreds easily, then shred it.
3 hr 10 min190:00 - 6
Dip the tortillas in the consome fat, fill them with string cheese and shredded meat, and fry each side in a pan for 2 minutes.
4 min04:00 - 7
Serve the tacos with cilantro, lime, and strained consome.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find guajillo and ancho chiles, buy a dried sweet-hot chile mix from a Mexican grocer; red pepper flakes alone do not give the same body.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the tacos hot with consome, lime wedges, and optional roasted hot peppers.
